Random Pac 12 Questions

PrintWill Andrew Luck win the Heisman?
He is the record setting QB of a team that has only lost one game all season and two over the past two years.
Will a lackluster performance against Oregon keep him from winning the award?
Do you think that Sark will announce after the ballots are in that if he could have voted he would have voted for Matt Barkley?
"He is the most scrutinized player in college football this year. From everything he does to what he does on campus to his classes. Here's a guy that still comes through. Has a phenomenal year. Throws for 3,000 yards. Throws for a bunch of touchdowns and leads us to an 11-1 record ... everything he does is as well or better than anybody I've seen. He's that good. None of it had to be fabricated. It's just who he is."
Who takes over for Paul Wulff?
First things first...It won't be Dennis Erickson, Mike Price, or Mike Bellotti. Moos who is the search committee of one publicly pushed those names aside at the press conference yesterday. Mike Leach was mentioned as a top candidate by Bud Withers on Sunday.
WSU was getting close under Wulff, no doubt about it. The question is, close to what, and I believe that's the issue Moos spent days and nights wrestling with.
Where is Rick Neuheisel's next stop?
At age 50 Neuheisel is fired at UCLA. Will Rick ever get another shot at running a BCS program or is he destined for the pro's or the broadcast booth?
UCLA under Neuheisel didn't produce a young man at the quarterback position that had the ability to carry the team on his shoulders. He didn't recruit one and that is one of the main reasons the program couldn't get off the ground.
In the meantime, Neuheisel admits that he's still got mouths to feed at home and needs to look for a new opportunity and quickly. He will be paid his base salary of $250,000 due for the final year of his contract, but not the $1 million in promotional bonus money.
What do you think of the CLINK?
Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times wants to know how your experience was at the CLINK. I am interested too because I heard quite a few complaints from people about the time it took to actually pass security to enter the stadium...and issues getting beer to drink.
I had a friend who actually said beer in the seats isn't worth it when you factor in all the mitigating factors surrounding its delivery....not to mention the negative aspects of fans getting juiced during the game.
I watched the game on TV and thought the facility looked pretty loud and impressive. I think the team will be able to do well there next season as opposed to Cal who never really got used to playing at Pac Bell Park.

jb, my thoughts
1. Luck should win the Heisman, but that loss to ore might hurt him in the end.
2. I still believe WSU will regret firing Wulff, like you said the team was improving, and didn’t quit on him. WSU will probably regret it even more if they get Leach, who will leave them as soon as he builds a winner. WSU will always have a problem finding a coach who isn’t using them as a stepping stone. Wulff might have been the exception to that.
3. I think Rick has coached his last major gig. I could see him ending up like Mike Price at a UTEP or San Jose St, but he is 50. In defense of RN, he recruited much better and balanced than his previous two stops, but finally suffered the breaks of injuries etc.
4. Lastly, the CLink. Very nice setting, great views and amenities, and built for sound. The beer issue I am torn about and I had two, one before at the center and one in halftime at club level. When I went for bathroom breaks, there were tons of people standing in the club level just BSing and not even watching the game on the TVs. It seemed to me they might as well have been at a bar socializing rather than a football game.
The two rows in front of us were constantly getting up to go have some more beers during the game and a couple of them even managed to bring them back to their seats. By the end of the third quarter, we are wondering why attend when you can’t even see the field anymore. At least they weren’t ugly to the coug fans seated around us.
I am trying not to judge , but why pay $97 a seat (top price) if all you are going to do is stand in the club level and drink, or get drunk in your seats so badly you don’t know whats happening on the field. It is an issue that the UW will have to address before next season especially with UW running the events next year. I guess the overall thought is that some people just can’t understand when to stop, or what the main reason for attending was in the first place. We do like having the ability to purchase alcohol at the events however.
The Heisman is not a contest of who is the best NFL prospect.
…it is a contest of who had the most stellar and productive season. I cannot honestly say that Luck had more single-handed production then guys like Case Keenum, Matt Barkley, RG3, Trent Richardson or Monte Ball. He just didn’t put up those kind of stats. The fact that he is even going to get an invite to NYC is a sign of respect but one that really isn’t earned.
None of that changes the fact that he is the “best” player in college football and deserves to be the #1 pick.
Damn, my eyeball tastes good.
@chrislandon
Agreed
RG3 had more influence on Baylor’s success than any other player on any other team. He consistently made amazing plays and his production was stellar. He’s probably the most deserving of the Heisman.
That said, it’ll probably go to Richardson – the best player on one of the best teams. Even though Alabama would be fine without him and he’s not a key part of their success. The Heisman is just stupid like that.
Keenum was arguably more valuable to Houston than RG3 to Baylor, but that's where level of competition comes into play.
I can’t speak to that.

Maybe
The trick is that Houston has had consistently high performance from QBs for a while, even without Keenum. My feeling is that you could put some good QB in Keenum’s place and Houston would still roll.
RG3 and Baylor basically came out of nothing.
Houston has had consistently high performance from QBs for a while, even without Keenum.
I agree. He’s a system QB as much as anything. Kind of how LaMichael James is a system running back, no?
Actually, somewhat yes
I’d agree with that. He’s an above-average back and he fits the system very well, but I don’t think that he should get the Heisman over one of the QBs – and this year I don’t think he should even go.
When LMJ left and we had to make do with Barner we were fine. It wasn’t as productive and we didn’t get as much as we would have, but we were fine. LMJ and Barner are fine players and good RBs, but it’d be foolish to state that Oregon’s system doesn’t yield a ton of yards and points. It’s certainly a system, and there are reasonable arguments to LMJ not being insane in a pro-style offense where he gets run up the middle a bunch of times like Richardson does.
Though one big difference is that Oregon plays against teams like LSU and Auburn, and Houston plays against teams like SMU and Tulsa.
It should be Keenum.
Yes, he’s not in a BCS-automatic conference, but he’s still playing D-1 competition. He had an absolute monster of season, and if you compared him to the rest of the non AQ QBs, I’d bet he’d look even better.

1. It would be the second time in three years that a Stanford athlete was jobbed out of the trophy.
2. 16,000 in the stands against Utah pretty much tells you everything you need to know about the decision.
3. Rick is one of those guys that doesn’t have a problem promoting himself for the next job opportunity.
4. I don’t think you need beer in the stands at a collegiate event.

Other than security
with less than 50 words we know where you stand on the latest events. I’m guessing that CLink security is dictated by the NFL, which is probably more interested in making sure you buy your booze at the stadium, not bring it in. As a retired airline pilot, I’ll stop now before I go “off” on security.

Stanford wasn't robbed in 2009, Nebraska was
Gerhart was better than Ingram, no argument. But Suh was a much bigger reason why Nebraska was anything that year and was a dominant force at his position like no other for the last 20 years.
If I remember correctly, While Suh was pretty solid all year long, he caught fire only in the last few games.
And I think that’s what hurt him in the ballots.
by Carl Shinyama on Nov 30, 2011 1:47 PM PST up reply actions
What hurt him was simply that he was on defense
He was pretty well on fire the entire 2009 campaign, especially on a team that was otherwise fairly mediocre.
Here’s his list of awards for that season:
2009 Associated Press College Player of the Year
2009 Heisman Trophy Finalist
2009 Unanimous First-Team All-American (1 of 12)
2009 Rotary Lombardi Award Winner
2009 Bronko Nagurski Trophy Winner
2009 Chuck Bednarik Award Winner
2009 Bill Willis Award Winner
2009 Walter Camp National Player of the Year Award Finalist (one of five)
2009 Lott Trophy Finalist (one of four)
2009 CBSSports.com National Defensive Player of the Year
2009 Big 12 Conference Defensive Player of the Year
2009 Big 12 Conference Defensive Lineman of the Year
2009 Guy Chamberlin Award Winner
2009 Nebraska Team MVP
Then he did this that season:
He also became the first defensive lineman to lead Nebraska in tackles in consecutive seasons. He also led the team in tackles for loss (24), sacks (12), quarterback hurries (26) and blocked kicks (3).
TFL was the 3rd best ever for Nebraska in a season, sacks #2. As a DT.
Now, I do agree he didn’t have absurd games like he did against Texas in the final game there – but that’s another good measure of a Heisman. Consistently great play and at least one marquee matchup where the player singlehandedly takes things over.
He was probably the best defensive player in college since Warren Sapp. And because he was a defensive player he wasn’t going to win jack in the Heisman.
No one needs beer anywhere, aside from late stage alcoholics.
But it sure as hell makes any sporting event more enjoyable.

I don't know what makes you think Leach is a stepping stone guy
He stayed in Lubbock for a long time. He seems like a guy who is stubborn and likes to build his castle around him rather than looking for the next big job.
Stats are not a euphemism for tits.
Leach interviewed for other jobs a lot
Seems like the major source of Tech getting fed up with Leach and looking for an excuse to fire him was Leach constantly angling for other jobs. Maybe it was just for leverage to boost his pay, but he was not shy about looking around, similar to Neuheisel when he was at the UW.
That was a chicken vesus egg scenario from my understanding
Leach clashed with the athletic director over control and lots of other things which led to him interviewing for other jobs which made the athletic department all the more upset with him.
Stats are not a euphemism for tits.
Exactly
Leach knew that the AD et al wanted him gone. I don’t think he was particularly mercurial; my impression is that if the AD hadn’t been such a douche he would have been there a long, long time.
Leach coming to WSU means that him and Moos see eye to eye, which is pretty likely.
That Sounds About Right
The U District the only part of Seattle I ever want to go to any more, other than a quick stop at 13 Cloins before going to be abused at SeaTac.

The U District? Really?
Over like.. Capitol Hill, Fremont, West Seattle, Ballard? I mean, on strength of bars alone I can think of a lot of places over the U District. What’s in the U District?
Pizza Mart, Finn's, B Mart, Knarr, Schultzy's, to name a few.
There’s also Earl’s if you want to spend $5 to get drink before heading to bars that don’t prominently feature Ave Rats, as well as Fourno’s on Thursdays if dancing is your thing. One thing that is conspicuously absent? Pool tables.

We're going to have to agree to disagree I guess
The last few times I’ve been on The Ave I’ve been decidedly unimpressed with how dirty and run down it’s gotten. Not that I didn’t have a great meal at Thai Tom.
Clink access...
I’d be curious to know how UW is handling it. Are they running things, or allowing the regular Clink crew to foul it up?
[Obviously] I wasn’t at the Apple Cup, but I was at the game WSU hosted against Oregon St., and mistakes WSU made were to delegate stadium entry, and also not oversee the process. The results were a lot of completely unnecessary delays and problems that the Clink staff caused, and no one then mitigated once it became obvious that there were problems.
To be fair, not all of the Clink personnel were problems, but it was clear that overall, there was an attitude of annoyance directed at customers, rather than any sense that they are in the entertainment/hospitality business. It was as though they were trying to make people regret coming, and discourage anyone from ever returning.
There were lots of conversations about that aspect of things after ward, and my hope was that a lesson learned would be that the host institution, who is still ultimately responsible for the event, even though it is off campus, needs to (ideally) run things themselves, or at a minimum, retain control and oversight.

Clink personnel hosted the Apple Cup.
UW will be handling it next year.
I’m not surprised that there were long lines. People are used to it being like Husky Stadium where you can show up to the stadium 10 minutes before the game and get to your seats. They announced the pat-downs early in the week. That’s why I made sure to show up early, I knew that most people wouldn’t be expecting them and that it would slow the process down a lot.
by UW11Bowdown on Nov 30, 2011 10:20 AM PST up reply actions
"UW will be handling it next year."
That’s probably a very good decision. It’s also one that needs to be publicized.
Similar to the discussion below, absent and until there is some indication that the problems that happened before have been addressed, there are great numbers of people who won’t go back.
The stadium is nice, but many left wanting someone fired for the ordeal that getting to the game itself was, mostly because it was totally unnecessary, and could have been avoided.

Will Not Return
The lines at the Clink were simply unacceptable. My pal & I arrived at the stadium about 25 minutes prior to the kick-off, only to see the most hideous ques ever, for a game. So we found seats at a very crowded bar that was near bye instead. Now even that took considerable time, but at least we were able to watch the kick-off and first quarter on TV.
Turned put that this was the correct move. Heard a lot about people who stood in line for 30+ minutes, and who still missed the kick-off. We made our 2012 season ticket decision then – we will be watching those games on TV. We just did not like the Clionk at all. People were considerably more testy and, obviously, much less friendly.
Otherwise….. Luck gets the Hiesman, Leach ends up at WSU (and does no better than Wuff was doing), and The Weasel will most likely end up in the broadcast booth for a year or so, then head off to coach at some desperate, mid-american program.

Was that just at the NW gate?
I don’t think the other gates are nearly as bad. That one gets all of the traffic because it is closer to the bus tunnel and parking lot.
by UW11Bowdown on Nov 30, 2011 10:21 AM PST up reply actions
All the lines were bad......
…… 20-25 mins before the kick-off. And yes, the NW gate was the worst.
Another problem at the Clink is that it just costs too much to go there. Not that I can not afford it if I wanted to, but it is just not worthy enough for my friends and I.

The Clink
I had absolutely no problem with lines or anything getting in (took about 6 minutes). I was in the student section and the atmosphere was excellent. It has begun to sway my opinion of students in the end zone in the remodeled HS. Sure, you can’t always tell what exactly is going on until they show the replay, but having the tunnel right below us was a new experience that I greatly enjoyed. Does anyone have any idea where they are putting the students in the CLink next year?
Same place.
Sure, you can’t always tell what exactly is going on until they show the replay
And you’re ok with that? Watching the game on the replay screen is no way to attend a football game.
Here's some of the comments I made at Condotta's blog
Coming from Kitsap, I love the location of the CLink – just a ferry ride and short walk. Beats driving to Husky Stadium – can’t wait for light rail to be finished.
There really isn’t a bad sight line at the CLink, for which I’m grateful. My season tickets at Husky Stadium are south upper stand, four seats from the 50. Somehow I got relegated to the 5 yard line near the south end zone for the Apple Cup. It was enjoyable sitting near the band and students, but I prefer to watch from higher and closer to the center of the field.
We entered the stadium an hour before kickoff, but we still stood in line for about 10 minutes – and were frisked as well. Certainly not as easy as Husky Stadium. I completely missed any announcement of pat-downs in the week prior. Not sure what they were looking for, as the pat down was completely incompetent as I could have easily hidden a weapon or liquor under my jacket and not been discovered.
Lastly, it was a college football game. Let the bands play during breaks. There was way too much music being played over the loudspeakers. Some occasional sound to go along with video to get the crowd amped for defense, but otherwise turn the damn sound off and let the band play.
There's a "disconnect" these days! Simple as that.
So many just don’t get it. Been to an airport lately? Compare that experience with a TV commercial for Southwest or Alaska where some idiot is screaming and dancing in line because they saved the baggage fee or whatever? Can you imagine how you would be treated if you did that for real? (“Got Tasers?”…) I guess I’m hoping they get back some common sense and make it a great experience for all!?
Mixed Review
Tough to get inside, lines were nuts and moving slowly, I actually missed the first five minutes of the game.
However there isn’t a bad seat in that place and the sound is great, once I was actually inside the Clink itself the experience was good (but then again I wasn’t trying to find beers either). If the issues with the entrances are resolved then the Clink will stand up as a first class facility on its own merits and cease to be bogged down by the poor management exhibited during the Apple Cup.
If that is resolved I expect a highly enjoyable game experience next year.
Roast Duck is a delicacy.
CLink
I hadn’t heard about the pat-downs prior to the game. Wasn’t a big issue for us, though it would have been nice if there was signage around the entrances. We were behind about 5 people to queue up and get to the frisk only to find out my mom had to go over to the other end of the entrance area because they were frisking by gender. Not that it matter much as I’m not sure they guy frisking me actually touched any of my clothing.
Biggest issue I had, not being that familiar with CLink (first time there in about 5 years) was knowing where to go. Signage was lacking. We had club seats but had to ask a CLink usher how to get to that area because it wasn’t abundantly clear just walking around the concourse. They suggested an elevator which turned out to be a bad move – slowest elevators I’ve ever encountered. Literally 5-10 minutes between the times the next elevator would appear. We would have been much faster to just walk up the stairs nearby.
The club section is quite nice – been there several years before when a buddy splurged on Seahawks’ tickets. However I agree the beer and alcohol thing is probably more hassle than it’s worth. Too many people just sitting in the club area binge-drinking so they could get to their seats, or drinking casually and just hanging out in the club rather than being out at their seats making noise. I’m certainly not a teetotaler – I enjoy beer and good drinks – but I’ve never really understood the drive to get plastered at a game, and I’d rather just get rid of the beer and alcohol access altogether. Seems like it ends up taking away from the fans being present for the action.
Employees at the CLink were fine from my limited interactions. The stadium itself is very nice. Looking forward to much wider concourses at the new Husky Stadium. Obviously the seats are great in the club section – very comfortable. Not sure how many sections in the new stadium will have individual seats, but the ones at CLink were great.
We arrived about an hour before the game, so the lines weren’t terrible, and even with the slow elevators we had plenty of time to get to our section, get some food and settle in before kickoff.
Not that it matter much as I’m not sure they guy frisking me actually touched any of my clothing.
Same here. I’m not sure what the point of the pat-downs was, other than to give the appearance of security. A dog and pony show that took way too long.
kirkd, you reinforced my impressions totally of the Clink experience
Forgot about some of the stuff you brought up, but like you we were in our seats one hour prior. The only diff between us was the guy we asked told us to go up the steps to get to club level, so we made it easily.
As for the alcohol, maybe cut off sales 5 mins after kickoff for both halves, too many "look at me I can drink here and BS with my buds " in the club lounge area.

they'll be more of a factor in recruiting QB's and WR's
Leach has a good pedigree with QB’s, and he’ll definitely be someone top WR’s have to take a hard look at. Puts that much more pressure on Sark to recruit well in the trenches.
Maybe
One of the things that should be somewhat scary is that WSU already has a great #1 WR and apparently a potentially great run and gun QB in Halliday, assuming Tuel isn’t as amazing. That right there fits well into the Leach-run system.
You might see some significantly improvement right off the bat. At the very least a winning season or bowl game next year is likely.
Full-motion video signs
Anyone else notice how hard to read the main scoreboard was? I’m talking about the one on the east side, it kind of had a “pigskin pattern” background to it. Full tv-style video. It’s hard to read.
Similar to how Safeco Field replaced the “yellow lights” digit sign in left field with a full-motion video sign this season.
Just seem harder to read. Too much technology. The “HUSKY STADIUM” sign is a classic, love the bold yellow lights and everything. Hope it stays. Full-motion video signs and advertisements all around Husky Stadium would be pretty lame.
by Northwest Purple on Nov 30, 2011 12:41 PM PST reply actions
The stadium experience, specifically the digital displays are outdated and look shabby compared the competition's.
Like almost everything else, we fiddled while Rome burned. Our neighbors to the south are setting the standard, we need to make up over a decade of doing nothing.
Funny, I could just well be talking about the on-field product …coincidence?
Agreed that those signs were hard to read.
I kept looking for a big scoreboard, and was disappointed that those small boards were all that was available.
We had no problem at Clink
but….We went to the tailgate at the Event center first then into the stadium from there, no lines. We were wanded on our way in to the event center and free to go after that. I will be going thru the event center all the games next year as it is easier when parking in the link gargage.
T90 same same. This game was nice as we used it as a preview
for next year. Initially, we weren’t sure if we were going to do stadium parking or club level seating, but we really enjoyed both, so have decided to can the light rail option for us, and my wife greenlighted the $950 club level seating for the amenities, just hope we can get them with our priority.
Not sure which side W or E we will be opting for, we actually enjoyed being opposite side (E) so we could see the husky bench throughout the game.
@Clink
Hated it. Hated everything about it and am giving up 10 year season tickets because of it. Will watch the games from home.
The energy is just all wrong. I don’t really follow the Seahawks and had only been to one game before so it may just be that I’m not comfortable there – or it could be that because I’ve been going to games at Husky Stadium for nearly 40 years my objectivity is compromised – but I can’t think of one good thing to say about that stadium except that it was nice to sit in a seat with a cupholder – but that’s just not enough.
Because my season tickets are in the west end zone (and I’ve kept going back to section 5 despite several attempts to move to “better” seats) apparently they assume that I enjoy being surrounded by the visiting team. Not the case. We were in section 105. Everybody had to stand the whole game because you couldn’t see over the WSU cheerleaders. Even when standing you couldn’t see past their signs to the field when play was at our end of the field. Had to watch a good chunk of the game on the video screens and that’s not what I pay for. The camera angles were terrible too.
Don’t drink at games so I don’t see a benefit to being able to. Wouldn’t relish the prospect of sitting anywhere near a bunch of drunken ducks – but thankfully that’s not a home game next year.
Add to all of that the fact that there’s not enough leg room for my 6’4" father (80 years old), and that was the final straw. Watch the games from home next year, maybe go to a game if we can get into a box, and take our chances with the new Husky Stadium. Will likely use the money to travel to Baton Rouge and/or Tucson and/or Berkley. Maybe all 3.

well, its too late now since its Dec 2
but by not renewing after 10 years, you lost all the points you had built up previously. If and when you come back to the rebuilt Husky Stadium, your seats will start at the bottom again. This is one reason why I always urge people to renew and just sell their tickets on StubHub etc if they can’t or choose not to attend for whatever reason (disgust with TW etc). We moved up astronomically during the Ty years and are now beneficiaries of pretty good seating.
The seats we were in at CLink easily would have accomodated your fathers size, as it was the biggest leg room we had ever seen in a sporting stadium, (around business class on an airplane size).
I know
And our family considered that but with Dad getting older and such, we just decided it wasn’t worth it. I was on the waiting list for season tickets for 6 years before I got mine (wish I would have gotten credit for that) but ultimately ended up going back to the seats/section we were originally awarded after each try at the “upgraded” seats. After my Dad had both knees replaced a couple of years ago, we had to have aisle seats. We ended up on the aisle two rows in from tunnel 5, which we loved and wouldn’t have given up for anything. We also loved the people that sat near us and the proximity to Captain Husky. :)
But my Dad was really uncomfortable at the Apple Cup, mostly because we couldn’t see at all when sitting down and he was uncomfortable standing throughout the game. As I said, we’ll probably go to a game or two and probably use the money to go to some away games.

I did, however, have the experience of 46 yard line student tickets
and nobody can take that away from me. Reserved student seats for me while I was going there, and my parents graduated in 1962 – what fun that must have been!
